Adelakun - the Forgotten Man...

I'm not saying he was the best player on the pitch today, but credit where credit is due. He was ignored for most of the time he's been at City, shunted off to Hull, where he seems to have been appreciated. Then he's summoned back to Ashton Gate, and plunged straight back into a team of players, most of whom he probably had only just met, for the Portsmouth game, and then kept his place for today. I thought he did well, all things considered. So let's give him a chance to make his mark, and not just write him off as an also-ran. He showed glimpses today of a decent player. Once he becomes more familiar with the rest of the team, and likewise they with him, he may surprise us all!

He showed signs of being that "ball carrier" that we are missing without Weimann or COD, but it was good to see his defensive work yesterday.

When I have seen him play in the past, he seems to lack a football brain to some extent, almost like a player who hasn't been brought up in the profession. Yesterday he showed more understanding of his role, so maybe it's just that the coaches have found the right way to get their messages across.

I like how he actually looks to take a man on, granted he didn’t get much luck with this yesterday but he’s not afraid of taking someone on. We’ve not had that for a while. 

Still probably less than 8 games at this level so will continue to improve if given game time.

Would that be our coaches or Hulls coaches ?‍♂️

Good on him. Do we have an extra year option on his contract? 

Yes

Beat his man and stood up a great cross where Martin fouled his man.  He’s happy going on either foot too.

I must have shit in my eyes because I haven't noticed him taking players on at all. I'll pay better attention next time!

Nothing wrong with your eyes.

I literally have no idea what game people were watching. 
 

He at best kept his shape. Offered nothing going forward. 
 

You would think he had a good game.

He’s played twice and done nothing. 
 

Some of our fans have such a low standard as to what a good player it reflects why have not ever got to the prem.

He’s slower than I thought he would be for a winger tbf but he definitely showed he can carry and retain a ball well

He’s more physical than quick and skilful.  He’s a bit like Mark Little when he’s in the final third.  Good use of body to avoid getting muscled out of it.

He isn’t perfect by any stretch, but he gave a good performance for the team yesterday...as the subset of pics show.

Please explain what the fans opinion of players has any relevance to where we finish in the league table.

If we have high standards to we get 4 points for a win?

You can't fool me with your circles and arrows ? He spent the whole game sat down doing a Sudoku...
